US workers are finding it difficult to afford basic necessities as the president claims ‘the economy is roaring back’
The White House insists that the affordability problem Americans like Levie report doesn’t exist. At a rally in Kentucky earlier this week, Donald Trump told the crowd: “Inflation is plummeting, income is rising, the economy is roaring back!”
Though the positive sentiment will be a tough sell for voters in the upcoming midterm elections.
After helping Congress pass huge cuts to healthcare and food assistance programs, Trump is now pushing to remove minimum wage and overtime protections for some workers. And though seven out of 10 Americans said that tariffs have led to higher prices, Trump has only doubled down on more levies.
Far from feeling like the US is in a golden age, workers said rising inflation means their paychecks can’t keep up with prices.
To be fair Biden didn’t do any good in the pandemic during his time overlapping it either.
Like deploying the military to launch an immediate Emergency Covid Vaccination Plan that hit its objectives in half the time, saving millions of lives?
Trump could have done that, but he was fully obsessed with planning his Insurrection, instead of getting the new vaccine out to the citizens.
I’m not even sure what that means.
That Biden had a terrible covid response that contributed to many unnecessary deaths too. What isn’t clear?
Gotta get that both sides in there.
